Multiple-days-ahead value-at-risk and expected shortfall forecasting for stock indices, commodities and exchange rates: Inter-day versus intra-day data
The forecasting performance of inter-day and intra-day volatility models is investigated. Intra-day information does not appear to improve the accuracy of the VaR and ES forecasts. The inter-day specification is a safe model to adequately predict market risk measures at a 95% CL. The multi period VaR and ES forecasts are more accurate at the 97.5% CL (suggested in Basel III, 2013). GARCH-skT produces reasonable multiple-days-ahead VaR and ES forecasts.
